30 Homemade Mother’s Day Gifts

This Mother’s Day, how about telling Mom how much you love and appreciate her with something homemade and heartfelt? Here’s a great assortment of Homemade Mother’s Day Gifts that are sure to please the mom in your life.

Holidays like Mother’s Day are often said to be getting too commercialized, and I completely agree with that. There are loads of cards for sale, people rushing around buying cut flowers and chocolate and stuffed animals, and more.

While that is all fine, how about this year doing something to change that? How about giving mom something from the heart–something homemade and even preferably all natural?

As a mom myself, I can sure say that I LOVE homemade gifts the best. They are super heart-warming, and there is just so much of the giver involved.

Of course, if you do give mom some flowers, be sure to check out my great tips about how to help cut flowers last longer.

Homemade Gifts Are The Best

Some of my favorite things that my kids have given to me are handmade. I have boys, and they aren’t the crafty (hoping to work on that with them more even though they are getting older), but still I love some of the simple things that they have given to me:

– “artwork” done with magic markers (very very rough–from when our oldest was about 2??)–it’s been in a frame for years
– a pencil-drawn squirrel that will soon be in a frame
– a small hand-written “card” that says “I LOVE MOMMY” – this sits in a frame in my bathroom
– wild flowers picked from our backyard or a walk with Dad

As you can see, these gifts were super simple, but I LOVED them because they were made by my kids. I treasure them most likely more than any other gifts I have ever gotten.

Taking the time to make something shows love and care in a special way for sure.

Following are some Homemade Mother’s Day Gifts that I’m sure any mom would like–in fact I think I will show this list to my kids and husband to give them some major hints!

Oh and of course, we all know that cooking for Mom on her day is a great gift as well. I’m sure you will find some great recipes to choose from in this collection of Healthy Mother’s Day Recipes.
